Deadline: 22 February 2024
Applications are now open for the Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award 2024 . The Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award is a grant of US$ 12,500 to support the work of a promising early-career non-fiction writer in a story that reveals truths about the human condition.
Offered for the first time in 2015, the Prize was awarded by individuals and organisations touched by the life and work of Matthew Power, an award-winning, itinerant journalist who sought to live and share the experience of the individuals and places he was reporting on. Power, a long-time friend of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, died in March 2014 while on assignment in Uganda.

The award was born out of the recognition that many important stories need to be told from a distance and that publications don't always have the resources to send a writer to where the story is.
Prize
The prize money will be distributed as follows:
- US$ 6,000 upon announcement of the winning proposal; US$ 3,000 upon evidence of substantial progress (usually a first draft); and US$ 3,500 upon completion and acceptance by the Prize committee.
